On the 21st (local time), according to local media and CNBC, a Model 3 vehicle parked in an underground parking lot for residents in Shanghai, China, exploded on the 19th. There were no casualties.

Initial analysis suggests that the explosion accident occurred due to an impact on the underside of the vehicle. Tesla has not yet released an official statement regarding this accident.
